Broadcasting today at 20:00 CEST: SHAPE+ mixtape from Pizza Noise Mafia.

Pizza Noise Mafia is a Brussels-based electronic duo made up of Matthieu Levet (Carrageenan, Carcass Identity) and Thibault Gondard (TG Gondard, Colombey). Armed with just a drum machine and a synthesiser, their minimalist setup hasn’t stopped them from getting crowds dancing—from illegal basement raves to major festivals across Europe.

Since the release of their debut album i canti della malavita in 2014 on the Belgian label Slaaploos, the duo has built a fierce live reputation, playing in iconic venues like Instants Chavirés, La Machine du Moulin Rouge, Le Trabendo (Paris), L’Ubu (Rennes), and Les Trinitaires (Metz). They’ve also lit up the stages of festivals such as Sonic Protest, Musiques Volantes, Schiev, Les 3 Éléphants, Villette Sonique, Idéal Trouble, and Frisson Acidulé, sharing lineups with artists like The Soft Moon, Pachanga Boys, Noir Boy George, Flavien Berger, Somaticae…

Their upcoming album—out November 2025 on Slaaploos— is a long journey through their ten years of electronic music: a nocturnal odyssey, hedonistic and ecstatic, but resolutely far from the techno motorway, along seldom-trodden and unpredictable paths.

Pizza Noise Mafia is an act of the SHAPE+ platform for innovative music and interdisciplinary art, co-funded by the EU and Pro Helvetia.

💌 Dear Listeners, this is a special message — we ask for your support in keeping The Lake the special place that it is.

For more than a decade, The Lake has been a home for sound, music, and storytelling beyond borders and algorithms — a space where voices, field recordings, and sonic collages coexist; where what plays next is always a mystery, even to us. We want to keep being a radio station that covers what most don’t and remain a relevant space for those who listen.

The Lake Radio is free for everyone (with an internet connection) and free of commercials, but keeping The Lake flowing isn’t free. Our main expenses are music rights, rent, and fees for our small editorial team. Much of what we do — the curation, the recording, the mixing, the stories — is powered by many volunteer hours and a deep love for sound.
To keep doing what we love, we ask for your kind help.

Your support — no matter the size — helps us:
• Keep our 24/7 stream alive
• Pay artists and rights holders fairly
• Maintain our studio in Nørrebro, Copenhagen
• Continue sharing new sonic worlds with the community

If you like what you hear, please consider making a donation today. You can support us with a one-time donation or contribute monthly through Patreon and PayPal. If you live in Denmark, you can also donate via MobilePay at 68866.

We are very grateful for all the contributions

New episode of My House In Your Haus tonight at 20 CET on thelakeradio.com
or already in your podcast app of choice

Autumn has arrived in all the warm colors and the hard times just begun, hence the title of this episode. We take a mango drive in the hopes to breathe as we're eight ways from Sunday. All the dreamscapes come alive in the stroboscope rays of the sun, yes we need more light. More room. Call the dub regulator to overcome our fears as we know that one day will be our last. In the midst of hope I call on all the basic channels to roll off. Let's dub the pain away. The magic exist. The energies exist. The intuition exists.

Your host: Phtalo

Synet på de almene boliger er domineret af de store blikke udefra. Og ingen er mere udskældte end de største af dem: blokkene. Men hvordan ser livet ud, når vi kigger fra blokkene indefra og ud?

I denne nye podcast-serie “Vores hjem fortalt”, inviterer beboere fra Folehaven, Gellerup og Holstebro os med ind i deres verden og fortæller om, hvordan det er at bo og høre til i deres almene boligområder.   En gruppe unge piger tager os med på opdagelse i Folehaven, og vi møder dem i en opbrudstid for deres venskaber og boligområde. I Gellerup og Holstebro tager et netværk af mødre os med ind i stuerne, opgangene og på stierne og sætter de store politiske dagsordener og hverdagens fællesskaber i perspektiv.

Podcasten er skabt af beboere fra de almene boligområder Folehaven, Gellerup og Nørreland i Holstebro, og tilrettelagt af Haena Laura Na Blankholm og Janna Aldaraji i samarbejde med AKK - Almene kunstklubber og The Lake Radio.

Broadcasting today at 20:00 CEST or listen on your prefered podcast platform now. The podcast is in danish.  
Projektet er støttet af FRI Puljen, der er en del af Fundamental Rights Initiative, et samarbejde mellem Globalt Fokus og Nyt Europa og er co-finansieret af EU.

Coming up is the new SHAPE+ mixtape from Farzané. Broadcasting today at 20:00 CEST.

Farzané (Farzaneh Nouri), an Iranian sound artist, creative coder, and researcher based in the Netherlands, works at the intersection of experimental music and computer science.
Her ongoing practice-based research focuses on embodied knowledge in human-computer free improvisation.

Embracing AI’s fundamental otherness while establishing relational connections, her practice aims at creating conditions of genuine encounter and collaborative destabilization between the artist and the machine.

This speculative approach moves beyond technological determinism and cultural essentialism, exploring how human and machine intelligences might co-evolve through creative tension and collaborative aesthetic discovery.

Farzané is an act of the SHAPE+ platform for innovative music and interdisciplinary art, co-funded by the EU and Pro Helvetia.

Broadcasting the second episode of Noisy Neighbors’ (Swedish title: ‘Bullret I byn’) today at 20:00 CEST.

For over a decade, noise complaints have shaped the music scene in Stockholm. Many venues have been forced to close down or move due to neighbors being disturbed. Noisy neighbors” (Swedish title: ”Bullret i byn”) investigates the relationship between music, sound and city life in the Swedish capital.

The series follows Fylkingen, one of the oldest still active organisations for experimental music in the world, as they are being evicted from their venue after almost 40 years. But they are far from alone.

A series in three parts, where the sounds of the city, memories and actual noise complaints submitted to the Swedish Environmental Department blend together to create something between a documentary and music in itself.

A transcript of the entire series in both English and Swedish is available if you dm us with your email (see the next slides).

Broadcasting today at 20:00 CEST: SHAPE+ Mixtape with Matej Rusmir.

Matej Rusmir was born in Belgrade, Serbia, in 2000, where he finished music school for classical guitar. Soon after, Matej started exploring audio production. Later, in 2016, as he began his career in the underground scene, Matej quickly gained recognition for his distinctive style, blending tribal techno with downtempo old-school trance and ethnic elements.

His production, live and DJ sets are filled with hypnotic and tribal rhythms and motifs that draw the audience’s focus entirely to the sound. Psychedelic tour de Balkan villages and Mediterranean towns mixed with techno and trance elements. As music digging can become similar to tourism, especially if you have time to do it for days in a row, you become hypnotized by different cultures and surprises you hear along the way. That’s where the inspiration came from, to do this tourism mix, starting at 4 PM in a Romanian village.

Drømmene der bringer os sammen (The dreams that bring us together (EN))

Brodcasting the first episode today at 20:00 CEST
~
Where does the inspiration come from when a composer writes music? Howcan you express an idea or story in sound? What is it like to composefor and collaborate with an entire symphony orchestra?

Welcome to a podcast series that follows the collaboration between composer Lil Lacy and Sønderjyllands Symfoniorkester / The Danish
Philharmonic Orchestra (2024-2027).

As composer in residence, Lil Lacy, will compose a Flute Concerto (2025) and a Symphony (2026), and during this podcast we will follow the creation of the works through the first early thoughts, workshops,
rehearsals and premieres. However, the collaboration with the orchestra also includes other dimensions than the actual scores and music – the collaboration is about listening, inspiring each other, creating together and growing relations.

Episode #1:

In the first episode we follow composer Lil Lacy from the very first
thoughts about the collaboration with the Sønderjyllands Symfoniorkester / The Danish Philharmonic Orchestra. Although there are a lot of thoughts behind the inspiration and ideas in the music Lil writes, it is entirely up to the listener how they hear, experience or feel the music. Lil uses these ideas and thoughts to awaken her creativity, to create and write the music.

The podcast is in Danish.

Podcast for Samtidskunst - Kaååråålines Vers

Podcast for samtidskunst besøger i dette afsnit det gamle psykiatriske hospital Skt Hans, mens udstillingen ‘Kaååråålines Vers’ er under opbygning.
Udstillingen viser værker af kunstner Caroline Ebbesen, der for mere end 100 år siden boede på Skt. Hans. Hendes værker bliver vist side om side med kunstnere som Gudrun Hasle, Matilde Duus og Lise Haller Baggesen, der alle har lavet sig inspirere af Ebbesens billedsprog og tekstunivers.
Vi taler med dem og udstillingens kurator, Lotte Løvholm, om hvem Caroline var, og hvad der gjorde hendes arbejde værd at genbesøge, så mange år senere.
